Russia
Red Square
What We Love
- The sheer size and scale of this country makes itself known around every corner.
- Finding a new appreciation for vodka and caviar.
- Be prepared to see a lifetime’s worth of marble, gold, emeralds, rubies, and diamonds.
- Moscow is a vibrant, electric capital. It is the center of the Russian universe and one can feel it. It is also a very handsome city with vast parks, forests, and charming tree-lined boulevards in addition to the infamous Kremlin, which is quite peaceful inside as there are no cars.
- St. Petersburg is Catherine the Great’s attempt at building her own Paris and she does not disappoint. The Hermitage and Winter Palace are filled with endless treasures of art and design.
